Hi John,
If this only occurs on the Hugo DAC, its most likley limited to that device. Ideally, if someone can run a different USB DAC with 384KHz (i lack a device to test myself) and verify channels, it should answer this for us.
Another option you could try is updating the RPi kernel to 4.9
. There may be fixes/improvements to USB audio since 4.4
. You can achieve this by doing the following:
apt-get install rpi-update
rpi-update
reboot
Just bear in mind, 4.4
is considered official stable, 4.9
is still under development and could be unstable.
